While we at Green Prophet wouldn’t encourage anyone to clutter their lives with tons of stuff, there are some wonderful green gadgets on the marketplace now – the Solio mobile phone charger for instance, uses all this wonderful ‘shemesh’ we have instead of electricity … and Israel is at the forefront of this research and development.
So, while we respectfully and dutifully support recycling and re-using (see recent posts on recycling and re-using stuff here and baby toys and clothes in particular here), and I’m spending more and more hours each day trying to reduce our household waste by composting mounds of cardboard –– also take a look Life Goggles, which is a US-based great green review site, with organic products, lifestyle book reviews, great planet-friendly gadgets, tips, the odd green gag and short films, and lots more besides.
This month, they have a competition to win some of this wonderful stuff, too. You sign up to register, noting that only some of the goodies can get sent internationally, and get their weekly reviews and round-ups dropping into your inbox “like manna from heaven.”
And don’t forget, if you’re in a competitive mood, we humble hosts here at GP still have a solitary copy of ‘Green Chic’ by Christie Matheson to give away to the next local greenie who answers all the questions here.
It must be post-Pesach madness.
The Life Goggles Great Green Giveaway Competition is here.

Growing up in a green village outside Cambridge, UK gave me an eye into the natural world, and years later, after being an actor, dramatist, weary traveller and anthropologist, the environment fires me up the most – and the need to save and nurture it… while we live within it. I now live in the UK, with partner Tania and 2 pesky cats – writing and filming the world (slowly making a documentary about the Bedouin situation) take up my creative time. I do this while growing things organically and composting profusely take up the remainder. James can be reached at james (at) greenprophet (dot) com.
great competition. We should be doing all we can for the planet
Thanks for the mention, and good luck in the competition!
